The political party thingy hadn't much to do with the culture discussion.It was a side note

Hey Bismarck,

maybe you should give your team-mate some lessons in culture? It wouldn?t be bad!



Culture has to do with understanding of other opinions even if you don't agree with it.

I've the feeling this place is like the major political parties in every country.

They use to disagree to everything the opposing party proposes not caring if it is good or not.

Basically they just disagree because the opposing party proposed it  

  OK look at this month contest:



The only one who send in a decent time was bismarck.After the 1st day those holding back good times would have already all send them in so there would be a real competition the rest of the month.  

There would be a time to 'aim' at.

PLease at least try to understand it.

I don't care if you don't have the same opinion as I have but I still wonder how you can express a different opinion ignoring all pro's of my suggestions.



I wrote a relativly 'agressive' reply (not replay ) because ignoration of facts is not really helpfull if you want to express an opposing opinion.



'it just cuts the month in 3' is senseless,not true and can very easily be proven wrong .It's a no brainer.



Sorry

Try to use your brain please.I know this is racing but thinking does not hurt either.



You have no idea nor a clue what I was talking about.Nor did you actually think about it.



You would be HALF and only HALF correct if you would get 10 bonus points every 10 days.

But the bonus points are only 1-3 or even less!



Ok again:

After the 1st bonus points have been given away a REAL contest will begin bc most drivers will already have driven very good times to gain the bonus points.And there is plenty of time to maximise those times until the end of the month!

W/o the bonus times everyone will just send in *some* time at the end of the month w/o a real competition.My system solves that problem.

Is it soooo hard to understand?



Regarding your time.Either you did not read what I was writing or you are just ignoring it.

You said you DON't hold back times ONLY if YOU found a shortcut NOONE else found!!

Bismarck obviously FOUND it and send it in very early.So we don't have to worry WHO found it 1st.But you STILL hold back the time to gain an advantage.And this CONTRADICTS what you said in your post BEFORE.

Got it?

Q:EXCEPT if I find a big shortcut and no one else has found it. Just like last month. I don't want to give it away that there is a shortcut

A:Not true,Bismarck drove exactly the same way you did and send in his time way earlier.The only reason you did hold back your time was to get a better chance to win.





Other topics:



1)1 replay a week: senseless because pipsqueaks could just send in a crappy time to fullfill the requirements!



Here is my suggestion,and I really think it's a good one because it solves all problems:



There will be extra points during the month:

After 10 days the leader gets 3 the 2nd 2 and the 3rd 1 point.

Same procedure after 20 days.

At the end of the month the scoring system is as usual:



Here is an example



after 10 days: 1Roy

                   2Bonzai

                   3Bismarck

after 20 days   1Roy

                    2Bismarck

                    3Bonzai



end of month: 1 Pershing

                   2 Roy

                   3  Bismarck

                   4 Bonzai

                   5-10 other drivers.

Final score: 1Roy 15 points 2 Bismarck points11 3 Pershing 10 points ...........



The names are just examples,As you can see Roy and Bismarck would have more points than pershing bc Pershing waited until the last day to send in his replay,but Pershing would still have  a relativly 'good' position.

Please consider it

The track is cool,but:



Well last month was kinda the worst month ever:

No contest.



Even on January there was a real competition about the 1st place although last day decided the race.



And think about it this way Zak:

If I send in a time now and you don't receive my replay on the last day I will either have a crappy time OR a lot of trouble.

If I send no replays until the last day I will either have a good time or no time at all which is still better than a bad time.

Got the point?

I think the system should be worked over

Good thing I'm not the center of speculation this time  

But anyways,his time seems to be quite good

When I finish ignoring the penalty time my time is still a couple of seconds slower than his time...

Zak said that the 'normal' opponent times aren't competative enough so I decided to give them the Jaguar and make the track easier for them so they can finish.

I did not make it shorter but took the parts out which obviously slow opponents down and replaced them with roads...

You were pretty serious about the shortcut issue before.

And no,you sounded like a 4 year old crying bc someone took away his candy stick. Sorry



Anyways as Bernie mentioned:

1)Let me remind you the gas pedal is on the right

and

2)Even Skids is a lot faster than you  

Are you serious Bonzai?

'mere short cut finders'



May I remind you that your 54.xx on the default track ONLY was possible bc you used a shortcut???

I am still 7 seconds faster but that's life I guess  

And you don't drive a 5x,xx time on the monthly track because you did not even find ONE of the tricks I have found which is kinda sad bc I finally found 3 ways allowing you a time under 1 min.

Unfortunatly it looks like I have no time to race anymore  this month so it will go to Roy or Bismarck  

Until which time can we send replays?

Need the exact time in gmt+1  



Can I send you a replay faster than 1.01.35 but still let you add 1.01.35 to the list?

I hate braking before the finish line   but I don't want to lay all cards on the table this early either!

Ok I will explain it on 3 examples

Driver A type YOU

Driver B type Roy

When  you try to get a good time you race a track a lot and once you think you have a good time you send it in and wonder why others are a lot faster even though no shortcuts were possible.



When Roy tries to get a good time he drives 10 seconds(example) checks which point at the track the car reached and drives again until he has the fastest time to the spot.Now he saves a replay and keeps driving 10 more seconds and saves the replay.If he is not satisfied he reloads the old about 10 sec old replay he saved before and drives again like 100 times until he got the best time possible (or nearly)

Now he saves again drives 10 secs again 100 times until...

You know it I think it's really boring and annoying.I know a lot do it and I only took Roy as an example but I don't know a way to prevent it.

I just have the impression everyone is panicked because their time is 20 or more seconds slower than the winning time.

Stunts is not about skill not close nor open tracks you have to live with it.

Even my 7 year old cousin isn't slower than 1-2 seconds on any of the competition tracks if I let him use replay handling 1000 times.

Actually replay handling is the most stupid thing in stunts...

0.59.60!

Ouch!



Roy you are definatly spending to much time on this game ;P

Well I don't think the track can be raced much faster than that  

Guess I'll reveal my time now
